CVE-2025-11410 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Advanced Online Voting Management System version 1.0, specifically within the /admin/voters_add.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'firstname' parameter, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. This flaw can be exploited to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or deletion within the voting management system. Since the system manages sensitive voter information and election data, exploitation could compromise election integrity and confidentiality. The vulnerability is rated medium severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3, reflecting the ease of remote exploitation but limited privileges required (low privileges) and limited impact scope (partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact). No patches have been published yet, and while no active exploits are reported in the wild, the availability of exploit code increases the risk. Other parameters may also be vulnerable, indicating a broader input validation issue. The system’s administrative interface exposure increases risk if not properly secured. This vulnerability highlights the critical need for secure coding practices in election-related software.

For European organizations, particularly election commissions and governmental bodies using Campcodes Advanced Online Voting Management System, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of voter data and election results. Exploitation could allow attackers to alter voter registrations, manipulate vote counts, or extract sensitive personal information, undermining public trust in electoral processes. The availability of the system could also be affected if attackers execute destructive SQL commands. Given the remote exploitability without authentication, attackers could operate from outside the network perimeter. This threat could lead to reputational damage, legal consequences under GDPR for data breaches, and potential disruption of democratic processes. The medium severity suggests a moderate but urgent risk, especially in politically sensitive environments or where election security is a national priority.

1. Immediately restrict access to the /admin/ directory to trusted IP addresses or via VPN to reduce exposure. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially 'firstname', using allowlists and rejecting unexpected characters. 3. Refactor the application code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 4. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated failed attempts targeting the voters_add.php endpoint. 5. Conduct a comprehensive security audit of all input parameters in the application to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. 6. Apply security patches from the vendor as soon as they become available. 7. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules tailored to the application’s traffic. 8. Educate administrative users on secure access practices and enforce strong authentication mechanisms. 9. Consider isolating the voting management system in a segmented network zone with limited external connectivity. 10. Prepare incident response plans specific to election system compromises.
